Wow, there was a time when the things that article said were true, in particular the cachet that "Heavyweight Champion of the World" once had.

But now, I think we would be hard pressed to find many "men in the streets" who could name the two guys who just fought for that title.  It is amazing how much that changed in such a relatively few years.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Let's be real, he's a heavyweight champion, not the heavyweight champion. Klitschko is the real champion, and Wilder is just a guy with a fancy belt.

There are four major sanctioning bodies in professional boxing, and the nature of the sport's politics make it very difficult for there to be an undisputed champion in any weight class. Wladimir Klitschko holds three of those belts, and has been recognized as champion by at least one of those bodies since 2005 without a defeat, making him the lineal champion as well. The only reason he doesn't hold the remaining WBC title belt, now held by Wilder, is because his brother Vitali had been WBC champion for most of period from 2004 until giving up his belt in 2013 to focus on his political career in Ukraine.

Those are all details the author of the article chose to overlook. In my view, and of most of the people who follow boxing much more closely than I do, Klitschko is as close to undisputed as a champion can get.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
